The socks are really coming along! I think they'll be long enough, and in response to my mom's question, I am planning a green cuff at the top, but probably not a very tall one.
Here's the sock I worked on in CMS and Colloquium last Thursday. It started out with just the heel finished. I'm starting to feel like there isn't that much yarn left. I hope that I can make the legs at least twice as tall as they are now. We'll see.
I almost forgot to post this ... Last night I worked on a quilt I am making for Elise, a woman in my church family. I'm not sure how old she is, but I'm pretty sure it's more than 90, and she is warm, sweet, and wise. I've been thinking about her a lot lately, and I'm making this quilt for her. It is very simple - I'll show more pictures when I'm done with it. 
Here is the picture from week before last: the feet and heels of both socks were done. Unfortunately, that night I got a migraine and the next week I was sick, so I never got around to posting it ... here's last week's photo:
I'm working my way up the legs. I think I'm going to alternate weeks on each sock. Last week I worked on sock #2 with the heart stitch marker, so this week I'll work on sock #1, which has a butterfly stitch marker.
Our friend (and Robert's officemate) Jake got married to the lovely Jamie on New Year's Eve. I embroidered these pillowcases for them as a wedding gift. Since I couldn't be at the wedding, I was hoping to finish them in time to send them to the wedding with Robert, but that didn't happen, so we gave them to Jake and Jamie when they came over for dinner the other night. 
Overall, I'm happy with how they turned out. The only issue is that the holes from the brown basting stitches didn't close all the way up when I washed the pillowcases at the very end ... but I'm hoping that they will with time.
I finished binding my placemat last week (or the week before? I'm not sure). The only problem is, there's only one, and I don't know if I have enough of the same fabrics to make more and have them look like a coherent set. But I do want to make some more, to practice piecing with my new 1/4 inch piecing foot, which I haven't tried out yet.
My tea cosy is finished! It is just a little bit short - you can see the bottom half inch of the tea pot in the picture above.
My jumping off point was the tea cosy pattern in the One Skein Wonder book, and I mostly followed the pattern, but I thought the moss stitch they call for for the sides was boring. I wanted a breakfast theme, since I'll be using it mostly at breakfast time, so I looked in my stitch dictionary and chose waffle stitch for one side and leaves for the other. There was a shortage of breakfast-named patterns, so I decided that the leaves are tea leaves, which is fitting.
